“To organize work in such a manner that it becomes meaningless, boring, stultifying, or nerve-racking for the worker would be little short of criminal; it would indicate a greater concern with goods than with people, an evil lack of compassion and a soul-destroying degree of attachment to the most primitive side of this worldly existence.” PeopleLittlesSoulWould BeEvilSidesExistenceCompassionGreaterDegreesConcernWorkersBoringCriminalsAttachmentGoodsNervesDestroyingMeaninglessPrimitiveOrganizeWorldlySmall Is BeautifulLack Of Compassion Book:SMALL IS BEAUTIFUL Source: SMALL IS BEAUTIFUL

“The truly educated man is not a man who knows a bit of everything, not even the man who knows all the details of all subjects (if such a thing were possible): the “whole man” in fact, may have little detailed knowledge of facts and theories...but he will be truly in touch with the centre. He will not be in doubt about his basic convictions, about his view on the meaning and purpose of his life. He may not be able to explain these matters in words, but the conduct of his life will show a certain sureness of touch which stems from this inner clarity.” IfsKnowsMenMayLittlesMatterWholeFactsShowsAblePurposeCertainBitsViewsDoubtSubjectsTheoryDetailsConvictionEducatedClarityPurpose Of LifeStemCentreEducated ManSmall Is Beautiful Author:E.
